Answer:
2. y - (-5) = -3 (x - 5)
3. y = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Point intercept form: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
Where y and x are just kept as y and x, y₁ and x₁ are the parts of a coordinate, and m = slope.
2. The points are (5, -5) and the slope is -3. Plug this into y - y₁ = m (x - x₁) to get
y - (-5) = -3 (x - 5)
3. As stated, parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the line would be -5/2. The origin is (0, 0), so plug these two numbers in.
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 0 = -5/2 (x - 0)
y = -5/2
